Liberal MP Greg Fergus breached Conflict of Interest Act with letter, watchdog rules




Liberal MP Greg Fergus breached the Conflict of Interest Act by writing a letter in support of a television channel's application for mandatory carriage, the federal ethics commissioner has found.

The letter was submitted to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission last year to encourage required distribution of Natyf TV, which serves a multicultural francophone audience, as part of digital basic services.

Fergus, who represents the Quebec riding of Hull-Aylmer, is also parliamentary secretary to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Treasury Board President Mona Fortier, and he has served as chair of the parliamentary Black caucus.

The Canadian Press came across Fergus's letter during a routine examination of filings with the CRTC last fall. Ethics commissioner Mario Dion opened an investigation in early October after the news agency asked his office about the letter.

In a report released Tuesday, Dion said Fergus sought to improperly further Natyf's private interests because he intervened in the decision-making process of the broadcast regulator, a quasi-judicial tribunal.

"There is no doubt that the letter of support was intended to influence the decision of the CRTC so as to further the private interests of Natyf Inc."

Trudeau has worn Dion out.

Dion also announced Tuesday that he is stepping down as commissioner effective Feb. 21 due to "persistent health issues."

That "someone" has fled to Barbados just as Dion and Lucki announce their resignations.

Weird, eh? Almost like he planned to avoid questions and scrutiny on the announcements...
